kelpsoda Report post Posted April 17 I like Lupercalia because the perfumes are lighter and there isn't a lot of patchouli. This is my season more than Samhain. Wet: foody hazelnut. and juicy pear behind it. hmm. pear went a little bandaids scent for a bit. Is that the frankincense? dry: No more hazelnut. a little floral - osmanthus? , hint of pear, and still bandaids. Bummer. Not bad, but nothing I need more of.

bheansidhe Report post Posted Monday at 04:00 PM (edited) I was nervous to skin-test this one, as hazelnut usually stomps on all adjacent notes, but this is primarily a foody pear/vanilla crusted in white sugar crystals. The osmanthus lends a "floral water in the dessert recipe" note, while the frankincense and hazelnut remain a warm, pear-soaked crust at the bottom of the dish. This rides the line between foody and floral, but I appreciate how light the "sweetened" aspect is. It stays soft and low. This would be a good inside-the-shirt perfume for an occasional intimate puff of sweet air as you move around. ETA: Oh ... no. Hazelnut had the last laugh after all. It's a gentle hazelnut soaked in frankincense syrup, but still a hazelnut finish. Edited Monday at 04:11 PM by bheansidhe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
